Interesting. I have no idea if this is actually how moral realists think, but it does give me a handle so that I can imagine myself in that situation...

Sure, agreed.
I suspect that actual moral realists think in lots of different ways. (Actual physical realists do, too.)
But I find that starting with an existence-proof of "how might I believe something like this?" makes subsequent discussions easier.
